This study sought to assess the impact of child and parental birthplace on insurance status and access to health care among Latino children in the United States.
A cross-sectional, in-person survey of 376 random households with children aged 1 to 12 years was conducted in a predominantly Latino community. Children's insurance status and access to routine health care were compared among 3 child-parent groups: US born-US born (UU), US born-immigrant (UI), and immigrant-immigrant (II).
Uninsured rates for the 3 groups of children were 10% (UU), 23% (UI), and 64% (II). Rates for lack of access to routine health care were 5% (UU), 12% (UI), and 32% (II).
Latino children of immigrant parents are more likely to lack insurance and access to routine health care than are Latino children of US-born parents.
本研究旨在评估儿童及其父母的出生地对美国拉丁裔儿童保险状况和医疗保健可及性的影响。
在一个以拉丁裔为主的社区对376户有1至12岁儿童的随机家庭进行了横断面的面对面调查。在三组儿童-父母组合中比较了儿童的保险状况和常规医疗保健的可及性:美国出生-美国出生(UU)、美国出生-移民(UI)和移民-移民(II)。
三组儿童的未参保率分别为10%(UU)、23%(UI)和64%(II)。无法获得常规医疗保健的比例分别为5%(UU)、12%(UI)和32%(II)。
父母为移民的拉丁裔儿童比父母为美国出生的拉丁裔儿童更有可能缺乏保险和常规医疗保健可及性。
